terrorist acts against the united states. and so you need to treat that differently and you do not give the people that want to undermine the constitution to use it against us. host: if president obama gets health care legislation and signs it, will that be one of the issues that you use in the election? guest: absolutely. health care will be an ongoing issue until it gets resolved in the way when the government doesn't stand between the doctor and the patient and you're looking at a system that is bottom up. the situation is you've created a bureaucracy to solve cost problems. so if cost is the issue, if that's the driver, then what do we need to do to address the costs, to bring those costs down that creates greater competition in the marketplace so insurance companies, there are not only three insurance companies you can go to in my state. i can go to the four over there or the seven that are over there. you create competition. and you do other things. the other thing is if you have 40 million, 33 million, 10 million peopl

i early on in all of this, i researched the united states response to flu epidemics in the past. sometimes we get a really right. sometimes we don't react quickly enough, sometimes we can overreact. did we produce too much vaccine? did we get it right? is there anything we can learn from the h1n1 response now for the future? >> well, i tell you, my only criticism is basically the way that the whole swine flu information was handled by the c.d.c. and many of the agencies. now, we-- it got into a little bit after scare tactic at the beginning. i know we had to educate the public, but remember, we're coming from a point of view that a lot of people are very suspicious about pharmaceutical companies, vaccination, side effects and things like that, so we alarmed a lot of folks and then when everybody was trying to get the vaccine, we didn't have enough and so, sort of a lot of missteps. i think the lessons to be learned in the future is that we just have to chronically educate the american public about the advantages of vaccination and always be prepared for the flu because this is so
